- - 100% disk usage on startup.
- - abysmally slow response rate at first
- Turned off, disabled, or removed
- - Cortana
- - all Apple software

- - SW Update (tried)
- - Support Center (tried)
Updated Windows.
Good computer hygiene
- - Never install any Norton products under any circumstances.
- - Do not reinstall Samsung SW Update or Support Center. They are at war with Windows.
- - Never, never, never say yes to any offers to scan your computer that come from a website!
- If you are anxious, carefully close all windows, apps, and programs, then run a full scan with Windows Defender.
